[ Upstream commit e37243b65d528a8a9f8b9a57a43885f8e8dfc15c ]
The bpf_doc script refers to the GPL as the "GNU Privacy License".

The format for that string is identical to the one in use for kernel modules (Dual licenses, such as "Dual BSD/GPL", may be used). Some helper functions are only accessible to -programs that are compatible with the GNU Privacy License (GPL). +programs that are compatible with the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL).
In order to use such helpers, the eBPF program must be loaded with the correct license string passed (via **attr**) to the **bpf**\ () system call, and this
